In the opening game of the tournament, the Cats beat Ohio’s St. Ursula Academy after falling behind 2-0 in the first inning. The Cats managed only one hit, a single by Paige DeBurger in the top of the first.

St. Ursula came back in the bottom of the inning to score two runs on two hits and two errors.

The Eminence Warriors reached a milestone last week, defeating the Williamstown Lady Demons in the first round of the All A Classic, 14-4.

According to coach Bill Covington, it was the first All A tournament game win in recent memory.

The Warriors’ bats were hot in this game, pounding out 16 hits.

Savannah Mertz led the way with five hits and six RBIs. Kelsie Craigmyle also swung a hot bat with three hits and four RBIs. Leadoff hitter Serena Doktor reached base four times and scored all four times.

The Henry County sharpshooters held a region-wide competition on Saturday at the Steel Tech shooting range outside of Eminence. The shooting competition included rifle, shot gun, pistol and archery divisions.
